addaction to make AI join group in multiplayer

[0verlord-actual 11]

Hey, How would I create an addaction that would mean a AI Unit in a multiplayer game would the group of the player who selected the addaction?

I assume using the join command but to make them join the player who selected the addaction? the addaction is on the unit and the unit is a HVT!

_unit addAction
[
"Recruit Unit",
{
  (_this select 0) joinSilent group (_this select 1);
  (_this select 0) removeAction (_this select 2);
},
[],
6,
true,
true,
"",
"_this distance _target < 5"
];

_unit addAction
[
"Recruit Unit",
{
  (_this select 0) joinSilent group (_this select 1);
  (_this select 0) removeAction (_this select 2);
},
[],
6,
true,
true,
"",
"_this distance _target < 5"
];

Hey J.Shock

the name of the unit is HVT2 do I put _HVT2 addaction?

I cant seem to get it to work. it pops up with an script error.

It would just be the following (no "_"):

HVT2 addAction...

Create a file called "init.sqf" in the root of your mission folder. Then add the code provided above.

That's because join and joinSilent expect the joining unit(s) to be an array, not an object. Try this:

Kudos to Killzone_Kid for his SQF to BBCode Converter.

sorry i am legit a complete novice at all this, so is the array of units that can add him to their group? and is it between those to empty [] brackets in the script? or is it an array of the unit that the addaction applies to?

[jshock 512]

It's just how the join command works, it expects an array of units to join the group. It was my mistake on usage.
